Abstract A new virus called Sars-CoV-2, or COVID-19, emerged in late 2019 and caused several changes worldwide. In light of this, countries adopted preventive measures against this pandemic, such as social isolation, use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and special care with people who are at higher risk, such as elderly, people with hypertension or chronic conditions, and recently newborns, pregnant and puerperal women were also included. For puerperal women breastfeeding, it is an extremely important moment, which, in addition to being a natural feeding moment, it is an opportunity to strengthen the mother-baby bond. Aiming at a more cautious approach to avoid possible transmissions of COVID-19 during breastfeeding, preventive measures can hinder this binomial and bring harm to both.

COVID-19 is a highly contagious virus that first appeared in China in December 2019. It has affected over 157 million people and killed over 3.2 million. The paper reviews the function of the immune system for COVID-19 prevention, depression, and anxiety due to COVID-19 and their effects on the immune system and the relationship of aging with the immune system and depression and anxiety. It has been found that several elderly people lack the coping mechanisms required to deal with the stress caused by COVID-19. Hence, identifying the factors and mechanisms that lead to this resilience will aid in the development of preventive measures for certain elderly people and groups with more severe mental health problems. Additionally, it would be beneficial to understand how technology could be leveraged to accomplish this goal. During the pandemic, various steps such as social isolation, quarantine, and self-isolation are needed to be implemented properly to slow the spread of the virus. Meanwhile, to help halt the pandemic, everybody must be vaccinated as soon as possible until any bans on social gatherings and social isolation can be removed, allowing other sectors such as schooling, social activities, and life to resume normalcy.

In the past 12 months, 21.1% of the welders suffered from work related injuries. More than 95% welders used at least one personal protective equipment in this study. More injuries were seen among welders with age ≥35 years, working experience ≥ 5 years, not received training and not using of PPE at work. However, these factors were not found to be statistically significant.Conclusions: Work related injuries are high among welders of Dharan. Further research is required to explore the relationship between age, literacy, training and use of personal protective equipment with the occurrence of injuries among the welders.

The knowledge toward snakebite prevention was related to preventive measures taken by farmers. Besides, a lack of farmer’s awareness about the importance of using personal protective equipment and a lack of public understanding regarding the level of danger and the types of venomous snakes were factors that cause snakebites. This study aimed to describe the efforts to prevent snakebite on farmers in Panti sub-district. The method used a quantitative descriptive with survey research design. This research was conducted on farmers in Panti with a sample of 100 respondents using cluster sampling technique. The results of this study showed respondents have known tree crevices, earthen holes, piles of wood, garbage, and twigs that are at risk of becoming snake habitats, use boots and trousers while working, maximize lighting using a lamp or flashlight, regularly mow grass and shrubs, clean up scattered leaves, and rest on higher ground when at home or in the fields. While only a few respondents participated in health education and counselling regarding snake bites. This study concluded that the majority of respondents conducted efforts to prevent snakebites.
